With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Brow Hawkmoth sighting in Brisbane on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 310th most-seen of the 1083 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January to April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Brow Hawkmoth in Brisbane on a given day, against under 5% in May to December, the lowest months. Those are among Brisbane's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Brow Hawkmoth sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Brisbane, in our data
Brisbane is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-Brow Hawkmoth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sphingidae
The closest relatives of the White-Brow Hawkmoth that you can see in Brisbane (family Sphingidae, Sphinx Moths) are Eupanacra splendens (about 10%), Pale Brown Hawkmoth (about 10%) and Convolvulus Hawkmoth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Brow Hawkmoth is recorded against all the insects logged in Brisbane (40 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
